Gravel off the parish roads
Dump trucks at Henderson Lease and the Easterly plant
Two sand and gravel operations on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s register, Henderson Lease and Plant 1340-Easterly, lie about 12.5 and 13.5 miles north-west of Livingston. Dump trucks and tractors pulling end-dump trailers out of those pits are the kind of equipment we collect, and a truck parked at either site can stay there for pickup.
If your truck is sitting inside a pit gate off the north-west road out of town, tell us which of the two operations it is at and who can let our driver in. Send a few photos of the cab, the body or trailer and the VIN plate so we know what we are coming to load.
Fuel to the south and west
Sorrento Dome, Baton Rouge and the airfield at Hammond
The Energy Information Administration lists a petroleum product terminal at Sorrento Dome, roughly 22.6 miles south of Livingston, and another at Baton Rouge, about 24.5 miles to the west. Tractors that pulled fuel tankers between those terminals are trucks we buy, and we can pick one up where it is parked near either one.
East of town, NG Hammond Airport appears in the Bureau of Transportation Statistics’ list of military installations, around 20 miles away. If your tractor or straight truck is kept anywhere along that stretch between Baton Rouge and Hammond, give us the street address and we plan the collection there instead of asking you to move it.
Lumber, car hauling and freight on Livingston’s carrier roll
FMCSA’s carrier census shows 15 active motor carriers based in Livingston, and 7 of them list general freight while 4 haul logs, poles, beams and lumber. FMCSA’s figures add 3 that carry motor vehicles and 2 that move machinery or large objects, so log trailers, car haulers and lowboy tractors all turn up among the town’s registered equipment.
Within that group, FMCSA’s carrier census counts 12 private fleets, 7 interstate operations and 8 that stay intrastate. The biggest Livingston fleet in FMCSA’s census runs 12 power units with 5 drivers, and the next holds 3 power units. Whether you are selling one tractor or several from a small fleet, have the title and registration for each unit together before you call.
Radius of the local drivers
Sixteen drivers beyond the hundred-mile line
On the FMCSA census, 12 drivers at Livingston carriers work within a hundred-mile radius, and 16 go farther afield. A truck on the longer runs may be parked away from home when you decide to sell, and that is fine: tell us the yard or truck stop where it sits.
New registrations on FMCSA’s carrier census were steady, with 2 carriers starting up in 2024 and 2 more in 2025. If you set up your operation recently and are now selling its truck, the title should still list your company or your own name exactly as registered, so check that before sending it to us.
Getting a replacement title near Livingston
The Louisiana Office of Motor Vehicles handles titles here through its OMV offices, and the nearest listed one is Direct Auto Insurance Agency Inc at 28270 Walker Road S in Walker, about 7.1 miles from Livingston. If the title for your truck has gone missing, start there before we schedule the collection.
Bring the VIN, your registration and some identification to the Walker office so the replacement title matches the truck. A copy of the current registration and any service records for the truck also help us confirm what we are buying when we arrive.
Builders, cattle and jobs across the parish
Builders account for 19 construction establishments on the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns, and the same bureau’s LEHD job counts record 5,016 jobs for 2023. Dump trucks, flatbeds and box trucks working for those contractors are equipment we take, from one unit to a handful.
Across Livingston Parish there are 402 farms, according to USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, with cattle, horses and honey listed as the leading products. A livestock hauler, a stock trailer tractor or a farm flatbed kept on a parish property can be collected from the farm itself; just tell us how a truck gets in.
